In Decline but Fixable
I used to listen to every episode. It was great for brand new writers. Unfortunately, over time, the 15-minute format has limited deep dives into topics. Also, the hosts have become increasingly political and navel-gazing to the point that it’s almost not listenable. Every new season I give it a try to see if it’s improved, but it’s sadly only declined. Suggestions: (1) longer format for more rich/relevant info, (2) more guests to prevent navel-gazing, (3) avoid politics to prevent toxic, peachy tone. I’d love to be a regular listener again.
